Good answer on the home invasion question Sgtmac. As far as gun disarms, I have seen alot of differant moves taught. The ones that I teach vary depending on how close the person is to you, his location in ref. to your position ie. 12:00 o'clock, 6:00 o'clock etc. and where the weapon is pointed. I was first taught slapping moves, but found these to be lacking. A slapping move is great, IF it works. Now I mostly teach weapon grabs that involve moving the gun out of line with my body. An example would be grabbing the barrel of the gun with my left hand and rotating it left (if he was right handed) and grabbing the wrist with my right hand. They did teach at an earlier time to attempt to disarm or control with one hand, and draw your weapon with the other, but this has been found to be lacking shall we say. Rememeber this. Guns kill you by causing you to bleed to death or taking out a vital organ. In the movies you see people shot with a firearm and they just drop, that is a bunch of **** in general. NEVER expect that if you shoot someone, that they will just drop. Alot of cops have been killed making that assumption. They used to teach the old "double tap", draw and fire two rounds center mass. Now we teach to fire until the action that caused you to fire in the first place ceases. This is why you will see leo's firing 5 plus rounds into a subject. ANY time you shoot at someone, even once, you are stating that you have the right under law to use deadly force. 1 bullet or five, he is just as dead. Check with your local laws as they aply to your area, I am speaking of the laws that appy to my area. "better judged by 12 than carried by six."
